Milana could hardly believe it. After just one meeting with Lydia, her own son was already taking Lydia's side. “Luke, she’s part of the Norwood family. Of course she has to go back to them. Your sister is Sandy, and you need to accept that. You know, the kidney inside you… that was donated by your real sister.”
Trying to make Lydia look bad, Milana had no choice but to praise Sandy in front of Luke. But Luke just looked at her and said, “She’s the one who did my surgery. If it wasn’t for her, I’d be dead.”
That left both Milana and Jenson completely speechless.
“Luke, how can you say that? If we hadn’t begged her to do the operation, do you think she would have agreed?” Milana’s voice was trembling.
Jenson chimed in, “Yeah Luke, your sister gave you the kidney, not Lydia.”
Luke’s face stayed calm. “I know exactly who saved me.”
Lydia might have only performed his surgery once and disappeared after that, but Dr. Hady had been looking after him ever since. Luke had heard plenty about Lydia from him.
Milana felt like her whole world was falling apart. Now her son saw Lydia as his savior. What was she supposed to do?
“Luke, did Lydia say something to you today?” Milana tried to keep her nerves in check.
Luke didn’t want to talk about it. “No.”
Milana wanted to keep pushing, but Jenson stopped her. “Let Luke finish his soup first.”
So Milana bit back everything she wanted to say, bottling up her anger and letting it all simmer toward Lydia.
After Luke finished his soup, Jenson stayed with him while Milana found an excuse to step out and get some hot water. As soon as she was in the hallway, she called Lydia.
Recently, because Milana had been taking care of Mrs. Smith in the hospital, Lydia finally unblocked Milana’s number.
Without waiting for a response, Connor hung up. On the other end, Milana was left fuming, wishing she could storm over and scream at Lydia in person.
Connor looked at Lydia. “Don’t even waste your time with them. Just send them in jail.”
He knew exactly what Jenson and Milana had been up to. The only reason they’d managed to hide assets and sell off shares was because Lydia had looked the other way. And now they were so sure of themselves.
Lydia’s eyes were cold as she nodded. “Let them enjoy themselves for a couple more days.”
Luke’s birthday was coming up. That’s when she’d make sure they landed in jail.
She hesitated for a second. “But… Grandma still hasn’t woken up. Sandy’s been really careful. There hasn’t been much progress on her end.”

Olha a história bem boa só algumas coisas são chatas ( nesse tipo de história sempre troca as filhas pela a da empregada ou então pegam uma menina pra criar) pelo menos eles tratam a filha bem só enche o saco que até agora a Lucinda tá lá enchendo ! Fora isso tá bom Connor é um fofo a família dela a ama muito só Lucinda pra abaixar o nível do livro já era pra ter resolvido isso e fazer ela pagar mais tudo bem li um livro chinês que era parecido só algumas coisas diferentes ,ais mesma coisa tipo ela salvou o Connor no início lá ela salvava o avô dele , no chinês ela não tinha um irmão mais novo com os pais adotivos , a mãe dela tinha 2 irmãos e todos os avós estavam vivos mais história quase igual e tem coisas tipo o triângulo que lá TB tinha até a Lucinda que no chines TB ficou o livro todo aprontando só no final a família descobria e se livrava dela aí ela ia morar com o cara que ela usa pra disfarçar que não gosta do Connor aí depois ainda quase matava a irmã dele e a mãe dele que ele via como ela era...

Every chapter is missing a sentence from the end of every chapter. It’s frustrating to try guess what’s missing or said...
